Phillies 2B Chase Utley, who had started eight straight games, was out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, getting a day off to rest. Wilson Valdez started in his absence. [...]
Chase Utley (knee) is taking infield practice Tuesday for the fifth time in the last seven days.
Utley (knee) took grounders prior to the game Saturday for the third time in four days, the Phillies' official site reports.
Spin: Infield work was the big element that was missing for Utley a couple of weeks ago, so he appears to be making his way closer to the beginning of a minor league rehab assignment. As per usual, the Phillies haven't provided an updated timetable for Utley's return.
Chase Utley is back taking ground balls at second base Saturday after taking yesterday off. He's done infield work in 3 out of last 4 days.
